At the end of the program, from 7:30-8:00 pm, attendees have the opportunity to join moderated breakout groups. The smaller group discussions provide space to delve deeper into the program's topic and participate in meaningful dialogue.

The next event, Health Care for All? Confronting the Racial Divide will take place via Zoom on Thursday, July23, 2020. The event will feature Professor Phil Alcabes, PhD, Director of the Hunter College Community Health Program; Commissioner Oxiris Barbot, MD, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; Lilliam Barrios-Paoli, PhD, Special Advisor to the President of Hunter College and former NYC Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services; and Professor Michael Lewis, Silberman School of Social Work.
